Flashback

Young Betty's POV
I was fiddling with my necklace, the necklace Jughead got me for my 13th birthday, last year. Then I heard three knocks coming from the window. I look up from my necklace and see Jughead, he didn't look so happy. The worst thoughts came to my mind, was he going to break up with me? I cleared my mind and put a smile on my face. I went to open the window.
"Hey there Juliet" he smiles. Juliet. I'm his Juliet. I love it when he calls me that. It makes me feel, wanted.
"Hey Romeo" I giggle. But he doesn't laugh back, what was wrong? I wondered.
"What's wrong?" I asked after I moved aside to let him in my room. I was wondering why he looked so upset. Did I do something?
"I don't know how to say this" he twiddled with his fingers.

Young Jughead's POV
I was sitting on the sofa, in my very small trailer with my dad, which made me very claustrophobic. We didn't have much money to move, nor did we have much money to buy food either. With a shock, my dad punched a wall, bruising his fingers and snapping me out of my thoughts.
"We're moving, tomorrow night, to Toledo!" He shouts, fake smiling.
"Why?! I can't leave Betty!" I scoff. I didn't want to leave her. She's my other half. We've been dating for around two years and I didn't want to break up now.
"I don't care about Betty! You're mom wants us back, Jellybean misses you. One day, Betty will break up with you and you'll only have you're family left, not her" My dad snaps back. It's true. One day, we'll have to break up. Maybe today is the day. She wouldn't like me anymore. I'll miss her so much.
I scoffed out of the tiny-sized trailer and ran to Betty's house. Her mom still didn't like me that much, mainly because of my dad, so I decided to grab Mr Andrews' ladder from his garden that me and Archie always used to climb up to Betty's window. I climbed up her window and tapped on it, three times. She looked confused, but opened the door after a few glances.

Young Betty's POV
"What is it Jug?" I ask.
"I'm sorry but, I have to move back to Toledo" Those words haunted me, Jughead's leaving me.
"You're leaving me?" I broke down.
"I don't want to"
"But Jug! Can't you stay?" I asked, wiping my tears away.
"No. Sorry"
"When are you leaving?" I asked, few more years forming in my eyes.
"Tomorrow night" He replies. This is the worst day ever. This can't be happening.
"Jug.. are we going to break up?" I asked, not wanting to hear the answer 'yes'.
"Well I guess so" He says, scratching the back of his neck.
"Oh"

Young Jughead's POV
I could see the tears forming in her deep, ocean blue eyes.
"I'm sorry" I say, realising I hurt her but there was nothing I could do. I'm only 14, I can't make my own decisions.
"It's fine, just go" She says, wiping the tears away. I knew she wasn't fine, but I had to let her go.
"I'll never stop loving you, I'll miss you Juliet" They were the last words that spoke out of my mouth before leaving her.
"I'll always love you" I faintly heard coming from Betty's mouth.

Sorry for the really short part. This is the first part of this story, but it's more like a prologue.
